GRASS GIS 6.4.4 released
https://grass.osgeo.org
We are pleased to announce the release of a new stable version of GRASS GIS. This release fixes issues discovered in the 6.4.3 version of the program and adds a number of new features. This release includes over 340 updates to the source code since 6.4.3. As a stable release series, the 6.4 line will enjoy long-term support and incremental enhancements while preserving backwards-compatibility with the entire GRASS 6 line.
Key improvements of the GRASS GIS 6.4.4 release include a complete rewrite of the r.li suite, major fixes for buffers (v.buffer, now based on GEOS library), major speedup for some vector modules (v.rast.stats and v.in.gpsbabel), various fixes for the portable wxPython based graphical interface (wxNVIZ, Location Wizard or Cartographic Composer), enabled Cairo driver for MS-Windows, and more user message translations.

GRASS GIS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies. GRASS GIS can be used either as a stand-alone application or as backend for other software packages such as QGIS and R geostatistics. It is a founding member of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo).
